Turkey has supported the USA during our invasion of Iraq, and has held off on any incursions into northern Iraq, despite the many provocations of the Kurdish rebels...
Now they are grouped up by the border, ready to go in...do you think they have been given carte blanche in return for allowing us to use their airspace on an Iranian attack? Just a thought - it's always interesting, the give and take that occurs just prior to military action... |

Terrorists should be killed indiscriminately of sex, race, age and their location.
Including PKK. |

To Outlaws93: I'm an American who lived in Turkey for 15 years as an Air Force/contractor dependent, six of those years being in the "Kurdish" part of the country, so I think I know what the Turks are like as a people, and I can tell you with full confidence that they have no ethnic hatred for their Kurdish fellow citizens, and no desire to "slaughter" them. The old 19th century image of "The Terrible Turk" is irrelevant in the 21st century, and the Turks are not a bloodthirsty people. Those of us who have actually lived in Turkey know better. Understand that the Kurdish separatists want to carve a Kurdish state out of southeastern Turkey, but the Turks consider their current borders to be eternal and inviolable, so that will never happen as long as the Turkish Army has any say in the matter. It's not the fact that the PKK is Kurdish that pisses the Turks off, it's the fact that they want, in effect, to secede from the Republic, taking a large chunk of eastern Anatolia with them, and for this they are considered to be traitors. That the PKK is a terrorist organization is indisputable, and is reason enough for the Turkish Army to destroy it. The Turks have no wish to wipe out the Kurds, the Armenians, the Greeks, or anyone else; please stop listening to uninformed and bigotted anti-Turkish propaganda.

Report: Turkey bombs Kurd rebels in Iraq
>>LINK<< DIYARBAKIR, Turkey - Turkish warplanes bombed Kurdish rebel hideouts in northern Iraq Thursday, private news channel NTV reported. The planes flew reconnaissance flights over the border area before bombing targets of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, the station said, citing Iraqi Kurdish officials. There were no reports of civilian casualties, it said. There was no immediate confirmation of the new attack from the Turkish military. But military chief Gen. Yasar Buyukanit has said Turkey will continue its attacks against rebels in northern Iraq. |

10 days suspension. Personal attacks on another poster in the Army Forums (see notes). 03/29/2008 - ErichG2 |
According to you the founding fathers would be killed. Since in todays standards anyone who wants to change the current government of a country is pretty much considered a terrorist food for thought. Go play your banjo. Not to mention since the first Gulf war the US has been defending the Kurds and their air space. The Kurds are fairly Western and generally like Americans. In this world of Piss poor US policy and more and more haltered I don't think pissing off all the friendlies is a good idea. |

Schlappy, as usual, you miss the point. The U.S. was permitted to use the AFB at Incirlik (BTW, its a Turkish AFB NOT A U.S. AFB ) during the invasion , but not FOR the invasion. |
